The driver who jumped a curb and injured several police officers outside the Turkey Hill convenience store in Exeter on Sunday night was still learning how to drive, police said.

The woman, 22, had a state-issued Learner's Permit and was traveling with a licensed driver in the front passenger seat as required, police said.

"She was learning how to drive. She apparently went to pull in the parking stall. She missed the brake and hit the accelerator instead," said Dion Fernandes, of the Pittston City Police Department. "It was a freak, freak accident. That's for sure."

Pittston City took over the investigation into the crash because the officers involved were from the surrounding towns of Exeter, Exeter Township, West Pittston and West Wyoming.

Farrell suffered the most significant injuries after being temporarily pinned against the building by a concrete garbage bin that the car struck, Fernandes said.

"In my opinion, if that concrete garbage wasn't there to absorb some of the blow, she would have went right into the building. It took a lot of the brunt of the impact," Fernandes said. "Thank God no one was killed. I can honestly say they were very, very, very lucky."

The driver's name was not immediately released.

Fernandes said police are conducting a crash reconstruction and it's too early to tell if any charges would be filed.

"It's a preliminary investigation. Until we finalize everything, we're not really sure," Fernandes said. "It was not a vehicle malfunction. It's going to be driver error."
